History

The Boeing 767 was Boeing’s first twin-engine wide body jet airliner and became very popular on the world’s airways. The 767-300F was the freighter version of the popular 767-300 airliner.

The Boeing 767 began as design studies in 1972 for an airliner to replace the older Boeing 707.

This evolved into a twin aisled medium range and capacity airliner similar to the Airbus A.300.

It was launched in July 1974, planned to be produced in three versions of different lengths of which the 767-300 was the mid length version.

The first 767-300 entered service in 1986 and the 767-300ER (Extended Range) began entering service 1988.

The 767-300F freighter version entered service in 1995, 115 of this variant had been delivered by November 2015 and a further 75 remained on order.

This model represents VH-EFR flying for Qantas Freight in 2015.
